3 rejections so far...NO acceptances

Ok so I feel as though I may not be going to law school any time soon...anyone else in the same boat here?!? I've gotten 3 rejections in the past month...all from schools I thought that I had somewhat of a chance at, which leaves my "dream schools" and obviously thats not looking very promising. I am depressed and freaking out. Any one have any similar stories w/ good outcomes???

well, i dont know what chance you have at the schools that still remain (though i think the 146 is gonna bite your butt on that cornell app of yours )

i had been rejected by my three top choices before my back up school swooped in to save the day by offereing me a full ride, so that deffinatly perked me up.

did you mention anything about testing low traditionally? (like proof of a low sat score vs your gpa of 3.3?) those kinda of things are critical when you are battling low scores...

I should've written something about testing low...because I didn't score well on the SAT either. Really I just suck with standardized testing but didn't want to make it sound like a pity party when I sent in my app. Now I am thinking I should've! I sent in an addendum with my Pace application explaining the circumstances surrounding my first LSAT but still scored bad on both anyways.

The only reason I applied to Cornell was because I got a Trustee Emeritus there to write me a really good rec. so I thought why not...but I don't know how much it'll really help at a school like that.

You really need to retest. I honestly don't think that a 146 will get you in anywhere. That is below the 50th percentile. Much below I think. Anywhere it did get you in is somewhere probably not worth spending the money on.

i applied to 37 law schools so far no acceptances. i've been rejected from 18 schools so i feel your pain all too much. i doubt i will get in anywhere so i've started applying to jobs. stay positive...you will need it.

I have a 148 LSAT average (149,145,150). My UGPA is a 3.39 (double major). Grad GPA is a 4.0. I have been working 40 plus hours a week since under grad. Working full time through my masters. I have a ton of soft factors. I wrote an addendum about testing poorly on standardized tests and how my LSAT is not representative of my actual academic abilities.

Thanks for all the support. I think I will check out a few more schools on the east coast since thats really where I'd like to be. Thanks for all the help though! Hopefully I'll get an acceptance at some point!
